Sion's W passive is a nerf, not an ability

The Ecdysiast·Aug 14, 2018·3 votes·688 views

Sion's health at level 18 is only 1784. That's on par with the lowest of mages.

Now, Soul Furnace, assuming his cs and takedowns are average according to champion.gg, only gives him an addition 524 by the end of a game. That's still lower than the level 18 base health of most tanks.

So rather than extra health, Soul Furnace does nothing but give the enemies the opportunity to prevent Sion from having average health for his class. This is just unacceptable, really.

Considering it scales infinitely, it would make a lot more sense for his base health to be lower. It would be like making Thresh's armour scale with level and scale like Leona's.

Not when games don't last infinitely. And Cho', who gets much more health much quicker, has 1900 base at 18. It shouldn't be so low for Sion, who gets far less far slower.

I wouldn't really call him weak, though.

Sure, the current meta is blowing the cock of slayers so hard the ESRB is threatening to change the rating from T to Ao +18 but that has nothing to do with him.
